Improvisational Cooking

Adapted from the Bob's Red Mill recipe.

½ cup garbanzo flour
2/3 cup water
a generous shake of garlic salt
a dash of garam masala
a dash of cumin, or curry powder, if you prefer
a teaspoon or so of dried cilantro

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet (medium to medium high heat). Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly. Pour the batter in the skillet all at once. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover, spread a tablespoon of oil over the top of the bread and cook 5 more minutes. Flip and cook for another 5.

A bit like hummus, but round and flat and crispy on the edges. One of the best things about this recipe is that it doesn't require any fresh ingredients... so if it's late at night and you haven't been to the store and you don't have a thing in the house except your pantry items, you can still have something decent to fill your belly. Get the garbanzo flour from a health food store, or sometimes markets have it in the bulk food section. Stock up, it'll last a while, especially if you keep it in the fridge.
